- Summary
- This workshop built upon previous outputs. Earlier in the year, PICUM had published a leaflet describing the project's priorities and outlining some of the main challenges facing undocumented migrant women in Europe. The leaflet was translated and distributed in the seven languages of PICUM's newsletter (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch), as well as Arabic and Russian. In November 2009, PICUM and United Methodist Women organised a global workshop during the "Peoples' Global Action on Migration, Development and Human Rights" in Athens, Greece, enabling a rich discussion with advocates and migrant women from around the world, to address exploitation in the workplace.
